How can SaniPath build on the SFD’s?

S Raj, D Berendes, CL Moe

SuSanA SFD Exchange Meeting (August 2016)

In this presentation, Suraja Raj discussed how the SaniPath Tool was used in Vellore, India and how SaniPath results could be used to build upon the SFDs. While SFDs show how excreta is or is not contained in a city, the SaniPath Tool focuses on where feces is ending up in the environment and how people are being exposed. Suraja also explains how spatial analyses and clustering was used in Vellore to understand the associations between household toilets and FSM with fecal contamination in urban areas.

As a side event during the 3rd International Faecal Sludge Management Conference, Dr. Christine Moe, Eddy Perez, Suraja Raj, and David Berendes presented within a session called Diagnostic Tools and Guidelines for FSM, with a focus on Faecal Waste and Tracking and Public Health. This session “presented the overarching framework of the WSP FSM study, and focused on key diagnostic tools being developed by GIZ, Emory University, and WSP.” This session used “presentations, case study-based group work, and open discussion” to familiarize participants with the SFD, SaniPath, and ESI tools. The session also gave participants the opportunity to engage with the tools and learn how to enhance the use and application of the tools to address FSM service delivery.
